A playing card integrity checker utilises a blue light source to illuminate the playing face of each card to use template matching to identify the value and suit of each card based on stored templates from cards of the same card manufacturer. This information and the number of cards counted is matched against the cards needed for a predetermined game. The absence of required cards or the presence of superfluous cards is reported. Cards that have their faces reversed or appear marked are also reported.
